About the Museum Mill

The Museum Mill is the middle of the three mills in a row near Schermerhorn. Together they form a beautiful, typically Dutch picture. The Museum Mill is open to the public from April 1 to November 1.

You can view the mill from top to bottom and see exactly how a watermill works and how the Schermerpolder was formed 400 years ago by the draining of the Schermeer. You will also get an idea of how people used to live and work in a polder mill. A film is shown in the cinema that explains more about the history of the polder and the development of the polder drainage. The mill runs during opening hours, subject to weather conditions and activities.

You can enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or soda in the Museum Mill. In the summer we also offer ice cream and the terrace is open with a view of the polder landscape.
